'If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.'
Meet Emma Woodhouse: handsome, clever, and rich.
Our dear protagonist, a victim to the hubris of youth, takes delight
from meddling in the romantic affairs of others, but soon these playful
escapades unravel and ensnare her - until, inevitably, she is but a
helpless player trapped in her own game.
Here, in her fourth novel, Jane Austen applies her caustic wit to ideas
of decorum, marriage, gender, and social status.
